Formentera's Absolute Essentials

Formentera features a landscape defined by the Ses Salines Natural Park, where the Trucador peninsula hosts the white sands of Ses Illetes and Llevante. The island's history is preserved in the Bronze Age megalithic tomb of Ca na Costa and the 18th-century fortified church of Sant Francesc Xavier. Dramatic coastal markers include the Far de la Mola on the eastern cliffs and the Far des cap de Barbaria to the south. From the red sandstone of Cala Saona to the five-kilometer stretch of Migjorn, the coastline offers diverse geological formations and turquoise waters.
